What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership offers you the chance to buy a share of your home (usually between 25% and 75%) and pay rent on the remaining share. Later on, you could buy more shares of your new home when you can afford to and, if you chose, own the property outright. Monthly costs to purchase a home via Shared Ownership are generally less than purchasing outright or renting, making it a fantastic option to get onto the housing ladder.

Eligibility criteria

To be eligible for a home here you'll need to:

• Have a combined household income under £90,000 per annum
• Not already own a property, or part of a property, at the time of completing on your purchase
• Be unable to purchase a suitable home to meet your housing needs on the open market

If you don't meet the eligibility criteria for this development, you may still qualify for a shared ownership purchase at one of our others, so take a look at our website for more information.
